Novella/Short Story Ratings Book ♥♥♥♥ 4 Stars Author ♥♥♥♥ 4 starsTotal ♥♥♥♥ 4 stars I love a good mystery and this book was great. I have to say that the clues were crazy and Jack was excellent as always. I think the Swedish Fish and gunshot clues were both brilliant and it was fun! It was so fun trying to figure out the mystery and the author did a great job of letting the reader be a part of the story. I honestly felt like I was playing Clue and Wyatt was Brilliant! I've read several of J.A. Konrath's stories in his series about Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels of the Chicago Police Department, and they're always entertaining. "With a Twist" is no exception, and combining Jack Daniels' deadpan humor with a "locked room" mystery is a definite winner. Was Edward Wyatt the victim of a homicide, or was it a suicide? Either way, how could a person have possibly fallen no more than a few feet and suffered injuries consistent with a fall of at least fifty feet?There were tons of clues, but most of them were irrelevant. It was Daniels' job to sort out the real clues and determine what had happened. Conveniently, the dead man was trying to help her, if Daniels was smart enough to figure it out.A very cleverly plotted short story, and a nice addition to the locked room sub-genre of detective fiction.

Clever little locked room mystery with familiar characters.

Fun but unrealistic, more Hercule Poiroit than Sam Spade.
